So, huge achievement. 40 days of Lent over baby! And of the three things I decided to give up (chocolate, fizzy drinks and volunteering for more things) I managed, well, one out of three.
The fizzy drinks clause went out at the anniversary party - Southern Comfort and lemonade.
Volunteering? Can anybody say M-U-G. Come on, I think we all know that was a stupid idea!
But chocolate? 40 days without. It seems like a long time but I had an intolerance to chocolate for years when I was a kid. I had to be so careful about what kind of sweets I ate in case they had sneaked some chocolate into them. It was a real pain in the arse. So, I honestly thought 40 days would be easy… but it always feels like I am catching up on my chocolate consumption from childhood so a day away from it is a day wasted.
When I thought I might be diabetic I wasn’t really bothered about giving up cakes and fast food and alcohol… but chocolate? That was the kicker.
But today… oh, today!
I woke late and took down the eggs I had bought the family. Normally we buy gifts instead of chocolate but with all the other gift giving events recently we decided to break with our tradition and take the
easier option.
There was so so much chocolate around today. So so so much. The cat decided that the eggs were hers and guarded them for a while…
…before deciding that she deserved one.
Woh, wait, I promise not to actually feed her any.I am not cleaning up the sick again.
I think I’m going to have to make chocolate crispies or cornflake cakes or something… There just is too much.
It was weird. It just didn’t taste the same. Maybe it’s something I need to ease myself back into?
